Thursday:
Mushlm Bugt Feriecenter: a vacation center for the disabled. The towers are actually bathrooms and a different artist designed the inside of each tower.
Koldinghus: A Castle Restoration Project in Kolding.
Børnekulturhuset St. Nicolai: Also in Kolding was this culture house. It was basically this play room for kids. There were rooms of mirrors, ropes, and random painting rooms. Outside was this random stick structure with gloves dangling from it (creepy yet fascinating), and outdoor patios.
Then we arrived at a city called Aarhus. We visited the Aarhus Crematorium Chapel. Pictured is the chapel room with an amazing lighting effect. We also went into the crematorium where they burned bodies. It smelled funny and was just sort a disturbing room to be in in general.
We later checked into our hostel which just happened to be located next to a forest. No big deal. Some of my Cal Poly buddies and I took a night walk through the forest and just had a grand ol time being our silly selves.
Friday:
Lærkehaven: a sustainable housing project
Aarhus AA: Urban Waterway in Aarhus. Break for lunch.
ARoS: Art museum. I will forever and always love art museums.
For Friday night we stayed at in a small town called Ebeltoft. Our hostel was located near a harbor that we took scenic walks around before and after dinner. And no, those buildings pictured are not our hostel but are the housing near the harbor.
Saturday:
We started the day off at the Ebeltoft Glasmuseum (not pictured)which had some pretty impressive glass work.
We took a short stop at Ebeltoft Kirke, a church.
And then visited the Trapholt Museum of Art. This was probably my favorite museum I've been to in Denmark so far. Not only was the art inspiring but the architecture of the museum itself was pretty interesting. The spine of the museum was a path of thick (approx. one meter) wall that lined the main pathway of the museum. And so, as you followed the wall, you followed the path of the museum.
Just before we headed back to Copenhagen, our bus stopped at a viking (Danish ancestors) mound. Our teacher/tour guide provided us with a shot of shnappes and we all had a "cheers" followed up with some black licorice pipe candy (black licorice is a Danish favorite).
On a sort of random note, I just want to state that Danish people know how to make AWESOME BREAD. Each morning at the hostels, we had warm loaves of bread that we sliced ourselves and topped with our choice of meat, brie cheese, or marmalade. IT WAS DELICIOUS.
